Original Short Film Title: Tres Cinematecas
Synopsis in English
The ghosts of a 19th-century slaughterhouse haunt the Brazilian Cinematheque: where cows would come to die, now films are screened. The former Central Market of Montevideo houses the Uruguayan Cinematheque. An old power plant is now the Film Museum in Buenos Aires. Several voices resonate and resist as best they can in a race against time and the obsolescence of cinema.
Sinopsis en Español
Los fantasmas de un matadero del siglo XIX recorren la Cinemateca Brasileira: donde antes iban a morir las vacas, ahora van a parar las películas. El ex Mercado Central de Montevideo alberga la Cinemateca Uruguaya. Una vieja planta eléctrica es hoy el Museo del Cine de Buenos Aires. Resuenan voces que, sorteando dictaduras, derrumbes e incendios, resisten en una carrera contra el paso del tiempo y la obsolescencia del cine.
